Today I've created a fun card using the brand new stamp set from Craftin' Desert Divas called Mermaid Lagoon. This is one of my most favorite stamp sets of all time I think :) I just love it! I created a video tutorial sharing how I colored my mermaid with copic markers and I also share how I created the fun watercolor background on my card. Here's my video:

And here are some pictures:

I used the following copic colors on my mermaid: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20, E23, E25, E29, Y35, Y38, E18, YR04, YR07, YR09, RV10, R81, R83, R85, R89. I used my Gansai Tambi watercolor paints to create the fun background. The sentiment also comes from a brand new stamp set from Craftin' Desert Divas called Summer Vibin', which is also a super cute set. To finish the card off, I added some sequins from Studio Katia and some Baker's Twine from my stash. What do you think?
